Which is better: Civil NIT Trichy or CSE NIT Patna?
NIT Trichy is one of the top 10 institutions in India for Engineering, NIT Patna makes it to the 56th position in the NIRF Rankings 2023 for Engineering.
Despite this, I would suggest you go for CSE from NIT Patna. Out of my experience of meeting different people, I would suggest you choose a better course over a better institution. CSE is in demand these days, while Civil might not be a good choice placement-wise.
A friend of mine pursued his B.Tech in Civil Engineering from a top NIT. He did not land a decent job. After that, he cracked GATE and went for his M.Tech in Civil Engineering from DTU. Even after his M.Tech, he landed a package of INR 5.5 LPA.
Civil Engineers from IIT Guwahati in my friend circle started preparing for UPSC because of not getting a job.
I believe that a course tag is permanent unless you switch your stream during your Masters. Therefore, I would suggest you take CSE from NIT Patna instead of Civil from NIT Trichy.

NIT Raipur mechanical engineering department was established 40 years ago and the ME department is the founding branch of NIT Raipur. It also has better faculties and lab equipment. NIT Raipur’s Electrical Department is equally good. It is a well-recognized department and gives students proper exposure.
NIT Raipur also holds a good placement record. At NIT Raipur both the departments are good. You can choose any of these as per your interest.
Therefore, if you are thinking of joining the Mechanical or Electrical department then NIT Raipur would be a better choice between NIT Patna and NIT Raipur.
Which is better for civil engineering, IIEST Shibpur or NIT Patna?
Without a doubt, IIEST Shibpur is the definite better choice among the two institutes for Civil Engineering and is indeed one of the best Civil Engineering departments in the country. My friends who study at IIEST Shibpur boast about their college, that it is great in so many ways.
The points below state some reasons as to why -
- The Civil Engineering department of IIEST Shibpur is the best department among all engineering institutes in India.
- IIEST is a national government-controlled institute, and its curriculum and structure are mostly managed by the central board.
- In IIEST, candidates can switch departments at the end of the first year through the stream change process. For this shift, they need a good GPA score in exams.
- Civil Engineers of IIEST Shibpur have excelled in their field everywhere, and have excellent worldwide recognition.
- Some of the alumni are among the world leaders of engineering. Ex- Dr. Fazlur Rahman Khan, who was the designer of the Willis Tower in the USA, Dr. Kajal Gupta, Chief Scientist and Technologist of NASA, USA.

Which is better, IIIT Lucknow for CSE or NIT Patna for ECE?
I have friends studying at both IIIT Lucknow and NIT Patna, and according to their first-hand experience, IIIT Lucknow is the better choice here. Here’s what you need to know.
- Curriculum: IIIT Lucknow has a great curriculumin terms of syllabus, classes, and coding culture. The competitive environment drives you to excel in every field.
- Facilities: You will get high-tech facilities in IIIT Lucknow designed for engineering and coding. Events like Hackathons and other tech fests are equivalent to IIIT Allahabad.
- Placements: My friend who completed his B.Tech from IIIT Lucknow experienced that your placement highly depends on how much you use online videos, courses to excel in your respective branch. Overall you need to be active and focus on improving your skills which might help you grab decent job packages. Moreover, the highest CTC recorded to 43 LPA while the average CTC is 18.4 LPA.
Check out some of the reasons why you shouldn’t choose NIT Patna.
- Poor infrastructure: Unfortunately, the institute is not making much effort to improve facilities, organizing tech events. This is because they are currently focusing on the construction of the new campus of NIT Patna at Bihta near IIT Patna which is bound to be completed by 2024.
- Poor accommodation: You will have to adjust to double or triple seater rooms because you won’t get a single-seater room in all of your 4 years. Also, the PG options are not good in the surrounding area.
- Poor mess food: Just like the infrastructure, the Hostel Mess Committee is too reluctant to improve food quality in spite of knowing everything. Also, you won’t get any good quality restaurants nearby or any online food ordered after 10 pm.
- Outdated curriculum: Institute is still following the old curriculum and has outdated labs. Even the Classrooms are too outdated with broken benches and no Projectors are used to teach.
- Lack of extracurricular: There is a lack of proper clubs, sports facilities, tech-fests, and coding culture.
Overall, ECE at NIT Patna is not a good option. Go for CSE IIIT Lucknow any day for a great curriculum, great facilities, great location, and great placements. Also, the CSE branch gets you more chances of better placements in most colleges in India.
Which is the best for CS, Nirma University or NIT Patna?
It’s difficult to determine which institute is better. However, given below are information about the colleges which may help you make the decision.
Ranking:
- Nirma University: The college was ranked among the top 100 institutions in the country by NIRF in the academic year 2018.
- NIT Patna: The college was ranked as 134th by NIRF among top engineering colleges of India in the year 2019.
Admission & Eligibility:
- Nirma University: For M.Tech in computer science engineering they need to be graduated and secure at least 55% in graduation apart from that they need to give the GATE exam.
- NIT Patna: To secure admissions in the college a candidate should get at least 50% in graduation and should appear for GATE exam.
Faculty:
- Nirma University: For almost every subject the faculty of the college provides a tutorial and a theory class.
- NIT Patna: The faculties are well qualified and have vast experience in both the terms, research, and even projects.
Placements:
- Nirma University: The highest CTC that was offered was Rs.16.6 LPA and the average CTC that was recorded was 8.2 LPA. The top recruiting companies that visited the college were: - Infosys, Tata Motors, Amul, Amazon, Bajaj Alliance, Larsen and Toubro, Daiken, and Bajaj Auto.

Therefore, if a choice has to be made, one can look at the different parameters mentioned above.
Which is the best NIT for an MTech in CSE, NIT Patna, NIT Goa, NIT Agartala, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Jaipur or NIT Manipur?
I will always suggest you give preference to the branch over the college. NIT Jalandhar and NIT Raipur are better colleges for CSE than NIT Patna and NIT Silchar. Another good option is ECE at NIT Allahabad or NIT Calicut as most of the companies let ECE students sit for software engineering roles during placements.
I am strongly against you joining mechanical engineering if you are already getting CSE/IT/ECE at NITs. Ultimately, it’s your preferences that will help choose the best college!
Which is better - NIT Patna or NIT Durgapur?
NIT Patna is definitely better than NIT Durgapur in terms of campus life and academics. The institute is considered to be a prestigious engineering college in Northern India given its excellent location just 2–3 km from the city. Students get to experience city life which is a great stress buster.
However, NIT Patna has a very small campus around 40 acres in contrast to NIT Durgapur’s 180-acre campus. The institute however has managed to provide all kinds of sports or recreational facilities even in such a limited space. There are amazing sports facilities so if you are a sports freak, this institute is for you!
The quality of recruiters is also decent and students have been placed in firms like Adobe, Amazon, Qualcomm, NetApp, Infenera, and De Shaw while some have been placed in start-ups like Arista Networks, Belzabar.
The institute has a great culture for the preparation of competitive exams owing to several coaching institutes like MadeEasy and the ACE Academy near the campus. So if you are considering core branches, this one's for you.
What should I prefer, IT at NIT Jalandhar or CSE at NIT Patna?
NIT Patna CSE earns significant points that make it better than IT at NIT Jalandhar.
For your final placements, you will have a chance at really good companies. The eligibility criteria for almost all CSE companies are fairly lax. Assume a CGPA of 6.5 to 7.0.
Companies that come to recruit always give CSE a preference over the corresponding IT branch in any college. Amazon, Adobe, Samsung, Samsung R&D, UHG, SAP Labs, Directi, Oracle Cloud Services, Oracle FSS, Zomato, Sprinkler, OYO, First American Pvt. Ltd., Factset, Oxigen, Verizon, Verity, Ericsson, MuSigma, Navriti, High Radius, Futures First, Smart Prix, Drishti, Polaris, Incture, Analytics Quotient, Sapient, Yodle, MAQ Software are among the companies that visit the campus.
